For those on a GLUTEN FREE diet, it is difficult to find prepared food with the necessary nutrients that are missing.
Chia provides a powerhouse of nutrition - all in one product. It is easy to use and benefits will be immediate.
Celiac Disease affects 1 in every 100 Americans - though a majority of this percentage of people go a lifetime of undiagnosis.
Celiac Disease has over 300 symptoms.
Many people go years treating symptoms without being diagnosed.
The symptoms range from infertility to constipation or diarrhea to attention deficit disorder. Before going on a prescription, doctors would be wise to test their patients for celiac disease. Celiac Disease attacks the autoimmune system and can present in many different ways. Before going on a prescription, ask your doctor to test you for celiac disease. if a simple diet change will "cure" your ailment, why not at least get the blood test.
People are born with Celiac Disease. It can show a variety of symptoms or none at all. Symptoms vary and change. Very difficult to diagnose.
EVERY baby should be tested - not only for active Celiac Disease but for the Celiac Disease gene. It is a simple blood test - Parents should insist on it! But keep in mind, also that Celiac Disease is commonly undiagnosed because if the child is tested and unsymptomatic then it may come out a false negative. Several tests may be necessary - so every time you get routine blood work, ask your Dr. to include it.
The CSA (Celiac Sprue Association) and the GIG (Gluten Intolerance Group) are the most respected national celiac group and with their support and certification, celiacs will not question. http://csaceliacs.org/CeliacDisease.php http://www.gluten.net
I highly advise everyone with a baby to read and study Dr. Alan Greene - a famous pediatrician who is the leading expert in nutrition and how the first years of life
are key in setting the stage for lifelong health. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sayWSkNJUKw&feature=youtube_gdata_player Also check out his website: www.feedingbabygreen.com

My mother was diagnosed with celiac disease about 6 years ago. The physical changes in her diet were difficult coming from an Italian family who likes pasta, bread and pastries. But the emotional part was even more difficult. I could only imagine how excluded and alienated my mother felt when we had family get togethers - which in our family is every weekend!
When I saw the tears in my mother's eyes, as birthday cake was being served and she couldn't eat any, I decided I had to do something. This began my quest to help celiacs in any way I can. It began with starting a gluten free baked good company.
I never expected to move my career from working for my family's demolition company to a food manufacturing company but I believe God led me and guided me to this mission and I followed....learning as I went from many angels that were put in my path.
After 2 years I was led to teaching a major food manufacturing company about gluten free in which one of the owners has celiac disease unbeknownst to the employees of the company. Then I realized that "Goodies" brought pleasure to celiacs but not much nutrition. Celiacs are depleted of nutrition and needed more.
Now my journey continues with the discovery of Chia - a gluten free grain loaded with nutrition. Many beautiful people have helped me continue to learn and grow. Chia has and will help so many - not only celiacs but everyone!
A year ago, my 17 year old son was diagnosed with celiac disease. He was an honors student. He had no gastrointestinal symptoms - only migraines, insomnia, sudden inability to concentrate, nervousness, etc. I brought him to a psychiatrist who after one appt told me, "If you would have brought him to any other doctor, he would have been prescribed a bi-polar medication or ADD meds. But I know that he needs a medical doctor instead. Something is attacking his brain."
Only thru the Grace of God was my son diagnosed. I didn't even suspect celiac disease. A teenager with those symptoms seemed common. But with a full physical, blood work and biopsy, celiac disease was clearly diagnosed.
I am determined now to spread the word about having your teen tested for celiac disease if he/she has any symptoms. I can't imagine how many children are taking unnecessary meds due to not being properly diagnosed. It can easily be added in your routine blood work.
Omega 3 Chia is loaded with nutrition and fiber and it helps many even those without celiac disease.
My journey continues..............
God Bless,
Susan
